Most of the reasons reported are around moderation. I think it's simply much easier for Sony to ban an account on their system (and revoke all of its content licenses as punishment) than it is to manage and wrangle steam account bans.

PSN accounts are subject to their own, malleable ToS whereas they are somewhat limited in their reprisals against a steam account, beyond simple bans.
Those tips on their own are fine.

It is absurd and counterproductive to then suggest those measures will meaningful impact a regional multi-year drought, while farmers continue to grow alfalfa and almonds.

Hi, As a avid Anki user, this seems super useful. I would suggest adding other card types and making easy to add images (if possible)
Two and three are really the same problem and are solved by periodically running the same workload in duplicate on other systems and comparing results to detect unreliable sellers. Same as all the captcha systems. It's an overhead required to have trust built into a system. In the event of a faulty GPU, the owner would likely want to know anyways.

The first issue could be addressed by just never giving a seller enough data from a buyer to abuse, but that does require a critical mass of both buyers and sellers before you could distribute and dilute a single customer's workload enough. The company could bootstrap this with renting their own GPUs and subsidizing sellers at first though.
I'm a bit puzzled why one would hold a press conference for a trial that hasn't happened yet - especially as this seems to be a phase 1 trial to test safety in humans.

The development of medical interventions typically goes through a number of stages.

The earliest stage is called the pre-clinical phase, where a candidate intervention is tested outside of humans, either in vitro or in animals. The images of the mouse and ferret teeth suggest this has been done.

Phase 1 is when the intervention is first tested in humans, typically in small groups of usually dozens of participants. The aim here is not to evaluate efficacy - phase 1 studies are often too small for that - but to assess tolerability and safety, and to find the optimal dosing with respect to side effects.

If an intervention appears safe in certain doses, it can then be evaluated for initial efficacy and continued safety in a phase 2 trial, which is larger (usually hundreds of participants). Think of it as a kind of pilot trial to see if the intervention has the desired beneficial effects without serious negative side effects, and to identify the dose with the best benefit/risk ratio. About half of the studies get past this stage.

Those that do can enter phase 3, which is the full efficacy and safety assessment of the intervention. Again, about half of the phase 3 trials eventually make it to market. Of course, the intervention first needs to go to the health authorities for regulatory approval before it can be offered on the market.

For an interesting study on costs during these phases, see e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32125404/

I'm obviously very excited about medical progress but if we had a press conference for every planned phase 1 trial we wouldn't be doing much else ;-)
I agree, it's feasible to do this but the article, and the experience I relay, is the truth on the ground in the US and Canada today. In STEM, it's totally possible to pay one's way through grad school without taking on extreme debt -- but it requires continual employment and strict frugality.
There are professional certifications they are just useless. The same goes for university degrees. The field moves too fast for certification to have any value. Perhaps if you do something very “enterprise” it might be useful.

Early Priuses (Prii? Whatever) were notoriously crap on dirt roads because the traction control was too aggressive about cutting torque when the wheels started slipping, like even imperceptibly. On loose surfaces, you've got to allow some slip or you're unlikely to get anywhere, especially if it's uphill.

As for people forgetting how to drive in the snow over the summer? That seems to be universal. Seen it in Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
MySQL at least should support that last bit (it has hex strings, and passwords are set with strings using SQL), but not the first as far as I know.

Under appreciated: Automation creates, or dramatically enhances, the need to fully understand problems and solutions at the most detailed and practical levels. Because automation removes the valuable manual ad hoc flexibility to adapt to most wonkiness.

1. When a job requires a mix of human and computer work, productivity changes are very dependent on interface details. Even one slightly confusing GUI, slowness of feedback, a tool that isn't quite as flexible as a job needs, or an inability to see/edit/use related information at the same time, can greatly harm productivity.

2. When a job is completely automated, productivity can go way up. But this productivity doesn't get attributed to human workers, it is corporate productivity. And then only if this highly optimized task really provides value. There is a lot of performative information processing, with conjectured long term payoffs, serving the needs of management and tech workers to look busy, and believe they are valuable.

For both human and corporate productivity, automation makes it extremely easy to decrease productivity due to the most subtle mismatches between problems and solutions.

When work is done by hand, these mismatches tend to be glaringly obvious, less tolerated, and more easily mitigated or eliminated.

As I understand it, one of the best things you can do is not bag up your leaves in the fall. Many insects lay their eggs on leaves, with the goal of having them winter over and hatch in the spring. There is an industry around blowing, raking, vacuuming, and bagging leaves, which stops this cycle.

I spread most of my leaves out along the back of my lot, and the rest go on the garden beds.

It is also an easy sell to people who don't really care about insects. Mosquitoes don't reproduce this way, but the insects that eat them do. You also don't need to dispose of your leaves every year. You can use the leaves as ground cover, and run them through a leaf shredder to make mulch, which saves you from buying these every year.

Fluorosis is not a cosmetic issue - it can be severe enough that it impacts the strength of the skeleton.

Even if that was not the case, you'd need to prove that it's better than hydroxyapatite when applied topically, which (assuming effective) delivery will obviously not be the case.

Best comment on HN. Ever.

Both clever and informative on so many levels.
It seems half of the HN crowd work in the Ad industry and never cease coming up with ridiculous excuses for why it's OK to abuse other people's PII. I was surprised to see there wasn't the usual gnawing of teeth this time, about the GDPR which tend to follow whenever that fine regulation is mentioned.
Truth. Splitting labor by race, sex, and whatever other box you can draw.

A trick as American as apple pie and, well, hiring weirdos to screw with unions.

Something fun to think about: the explosion in preposterously complicated documentation systems mirrors the degradation of union representation in skilled trades[0]. That's when capital should maybe stop and think about what, exactly, a union really is: bolshevik, or guild?

If a union cost you fifty million dollars, but your new slam bang doc system is costing you three hundred million, by itself, and your production times are 10x worse[1], it might be time to go back and re-examine your assumptions about the world. Because - surprise! - it's not bolshevism, it's f#&$ing compliance*.

[0] You're going to be tempted to say computing is sole cause here, but that's not quite correct. Scientific Management tried to do the same thing for US shipyards in the later 1890s, but it largely failed, because papered (skilled) labor knew what it was doing.

[1] Not to mention there's some things - complex welds, to take one example - that you are literally incapable of doing anymore.
Feel free to suggest something more effective than ozempic.

Saying “Japan (4.5%) can do it so Germany (19%) should stop being so fat” isn’t very helpful. [0]

The goal is to reduce obesity. It’s not like we can’t also attempt systemic changes while also using ozempic.

If you’re saying we shouldn’t use ozempic because other methods should work (but haven’t in many countries), then that’s a pretty simplistic argument. And one that will likely result in greater obesity and societal harm.

The entire electrical grid relies on the ground as a conductor. If your electrical outlet has two wires, one of them is connected directly to the literal ground via a metal post buried outside your home. If it has three wires, usually two of them are connected directly to the ground.

In most electrical systems one of those ground wires is also connected to a neutral wire that leads back to the generator. But there do exist "Single Wire Earth Return" systems where the neutral return wire is omitted and everything still works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return
I use (rootless) docker compose + traefik. Precisely because for wildcard certs it was really painless. Although I use my own DNS server and use RFC2136 DDNS for the LE DNS challenge.
No plugins needed, really. I have basically one ansible playbook to set all this up on a vm including templating out the compose files. Then another playbook that can remove everything from the server again (besides data/mounts). For backups I use restic with a custom script that can back up files, different dbs etc to multiple locations.

In the past I deployed k3s but I realized that was too much and too complicated for my self hosted stuff. I just want to deploy things quickly and not have to handle the certs myself.

It’s been well over a decade since I’ve listened to AM radio, and I couldn’t tell you a single FM station and I’ve lived in this city for 12 years. AM radio is literally not even on my radar as a way to get emergency information. I don’t even think we have access to an AM radio. I’m an elder millennial, over half the country is younger than me.

This legislation is absolutely out of touch with reality, and will do nothing but allow the old guard to slow down innovation and force the past on people who have no interest in it and will receive no value from.

For authentication, I had good luck with authentik as forward proxy.

The one thing that bothers me with traefik is that their implementation of ACME does not work if you have some sort of DNS load balancing. I had one setup with three servers responding to the same domain. It seems the first request )to start the ACME dance) would go to one server, and if the second one (with the .well-known address) is sent to a different one, it will just return a 404 and fail the whole thing. Now I either have * to delegate the certificate management to the service itself or add Caddy as a secondary proxy just to get certificate from it.

* Of course, someone smarter than me will point me to a better solution and I will be forever grateful.

> No one cares how much it might cost you to retrain your models.

Playing tough? But it's misguided. "No one cares how much it might cost you to fix the damn internet"

If you wanted to retro-fix facts, even if that could be achieved on a trained model, it would still get back by way of RAG or web search. But we don't ask pure LLMs for facts and news unless we are stupid.

If someone wanted to pirate a content it would be easier to use Google search or torrents than generative AI. It would be faster, cheaper and higher quality. AIs move slow, are expensive, rate limited and lossy. AI providers have in-built checks to prevent copyright infringement.

If someone wanted to build something dangerous, it would be easier to hire a specialist than to chatGPT their way into it. All LLMs know is also on Google Search. Achieve security by cleaning the internet first.

The answer to all AI data issues - PII, Copyright, Dangerous Information - is coming back to the issue of Google search offering links to it, and websites hosting this information online. You can't fix AI without fixing the internet.
I do a no pesticide garden and insects are a part of it. It took me 4-5 years of not giving up to reach a state of equilibrium. The first two years, the losses were devastating. Plants were regularly eaten by unwanted insects like aphids and cabbage white caterpillars. And I had to keep adding more plants. Now I have 70+ plant species in my small backyard and the beneficial insect moved in. Spiders, ladybugs and wasps now take care of any infestation before it becomes big. And the ones that stay small are now just an acceptable part of the garden’s lifecycle.
If you are in the majority of the countries in the world, it's not a minor inconvenience; the game straight up will not work for you, because PSN is not supported in your country.

This take is, at best, disingenuous, and at worst, dangerous. The Traefik maintainers and community contributors (including myself) have collectively invested hundreds of man-hours writing and improving documentation, specifically in response to feedback from users that things are hard, unintuitive, or complex.

You are discounting massive amounts of unpaid labor done specifically for people like you. At this point, if you can't find what you're looking for, it's on you. Maybe do a little bit of your own homework instead of throwing your hands up after 2 minutes and crying to the maintainers.

It's like this. AM is the lowest common denominator and that's why it's being mandated. There's nearly 100 years of experience of having AM radios in vehicles, it's easy, very cheap and it works. Everyone knows how it work and millions still listen to it.

Even if you never use the AM radio in your car someday someone else may do so to get emergency info (it has a much longer range than FM).

BTW, most of my radio experience has been in FM broadcasting, so I'd naturally choose that as a better quality broadcast medium. But we're not talking about that here, but rather the fact that AM radio is the LCD for a multitude of reasons.

Incidentally, I've also worked on the transmission side of television and I've been involved with spectrum management from a policy perspective. What I've notice in these posts is the tendency to dismiss AM simply because people have become unfamiliar with it given the many media options available today.

What people forget or have never understood is that to get that high quality video and sound on your smartphone, or on your widescreen OLED TV requires a huge amount of very complex infrastructure, and it takes many people and many organizations to do so. Only the slightest thing has to go wrong and the whole edifice will come crashing down. An idiot, terrorist and or natural disaster can kill it in an instant, whereas the low tech widely distributed AM TX network is much, much harder to bring to a halt. We saw this on many occasions in WWII, there were many instances where cities were left in ruins but the AM broadcast from those cities were either left intact or gotten up and running again within only a few hours. Again, that's what this whole discussion is about and why AM car radios are being mandated.

As I mentioned elsewhere, heaven help us come the next Carrington Event (which it will), none of that lovely media infrastructure will be left standing. Similar scenarios can result for certain emergency situations. When all communications fail then AM radio will be by far the easiest to reestablish, and with millions of cars having an AM receiver that will have services up and running much faster.

I know AM is not fashionable but it works and it's easy to establish, same can be said for sewer pipes but we don't chuck them away because they're not fashionable or because they're low tech.
I feel like that works for the naturally smarter students who can learn and grasp concepts on their own, but the majority need individual attention to learn better, especially in K12
> And it happens when you're growing your permanent teeth when your parents forget to teach you

He said it happened as he grew up. Wikipedia says almost half of Americans have at least mild fluorisis, there's no need to blame the parents when an environmental/governmental cause is so readily established...

> Also, fluorosis is a cosmetic issue

That's what I thought too but Wikipedia also disagrees on this count:

The pits, bands, and loss of areas of enamel seen in severe fluorosis are the result of damage to the severely hypomineralized, brittle and fragile enamel which occurs after they erupt into the mouth.
